“The starting point of this story is the sea… A physical and symbolic border that people did not dare trespass for centuries, the sea continues to be a barrier between geographies, people and dreams. Themed around characters on the edge of that border, their dead-ends, Seaburners is a film that concentrates on the cyclical characteristic of time.” – Melisa Önel
